River of Time
A song made by Donald Ngulube
Yeah, oh
Listen to the river flow, one love
Time is a river, it never stands still
Flowing past the mountain and the valley and the hill
You cannot touch the water that has already passed
The seasons keep on changing, they were never built to last
Yesterday is history, buried in the sand
Tomorrow is a promise we don't hold within our hand
But today is the present, a gift that is true
It’s waiting for the wisdom in the heart of me and you
Oh, the river of time keeps on rolling along
Teaching us the rhythm, teaching us the song
Don't waste the moment, don't let it drift away
'Cause you can't go back to the start of the day
Jah bless the hours, Jah bless the light
Living with purpose, doing what is right
Some people are mourning for what used to be
While others fear the future they are too blind to see
But the river flows forward, it doesn't wait for none
Whether you are sleeping or you're working in the sun
The rich man can't buy back a second that is gone
The powerful can't stop the rising of the dawn
So sow your seeds deeply in the soil of today
And watch how the harvest will brighten up your way
Oh, the river of time keeps on rolling along
Teaching us the rhythm, teaching us the song
Don't waste the moment, don't let it drift away
'Cause you can't go back to the start of the day
Jah bless the hours, Jah bless the light
Living with purpose, doing what is right
Rise up, don't let your spirit be cold
Let your story be brave, let your truth be told
Through the storms and the currents, you have to be strong
The river carving valleys where you truly belong
Small acts of kindness, steady and true
Building the destiny inside of you
Forgive very quickly, love without fear
Keep your vision steady and your purpose crystal clear
Life is not measured by the years that you breathe
But by the love that you share and the hope that you leave
So walk with your courage, serve with your soul
Letting the goodness of life take control
Easy now, steady as we go
Watching the beautiful river flow
Oh, the river of time keeps on rolling along
Teaching us the rhythm, teaching us the song
Don't waste the moment, don't let it drift away
'Cause you can't go back to the start of the day
Jah bless the hours, Jah bless the light
Living with purpose, doing what is right
Yeah, the river flows on
Never looking back, only looking to the dawn
Cherish every sunrise, one love
Yeah, keep on flowing, keep on growing
Jah bless, oh yeah.
